On
one of the final Pilgrimage days, a pilgrim unknown to me approaches me
under the belltower.
I tell him in the nicest possible way: "I have to shun talking with
brothers, except to meet service requirements. My cardiologist reckons
that I can't help but talk passionately, so my heart is severely
tested."
He nods, but he
speaks, just the same, "We've never met... I'm just a temporary
pilgrim.
I wanted to see the place where The Revelation of Arès has
awakened a very simple faith in the world. Faith in Good,
the faith that leads you to God, even if you are not interested in
God
at the outset, like a simple bee ends up leading you to the the
beehive. Also I wanted to pay my respects to you. You have thirty-two
years without making concessions stood up for the simplicity that
dissolves religion. What's more, what a hard sailing into the wind of
dechristianization..."
I cut him off, "...and of
despiritualization, which is even worse. I hope that by rediscovering
the ideas that make up the Word in the very place quite
simple where the Creator gave it again, you'll be more determined than
ever to pursue the Good!
This is a place where man like restores the children's capability and
pleasure of unlimitedly listening to a tale he has already listened to
a lot of times. "
He says, "The Revelation of Arès
has an answer for everything. No need of disputable interpretations, no
need for theology or dogmas. All you've got to do is read and achieve."
I say, "And yet I had to remind the readers of the true (Rev of
Ares II/8-9, XX/2, XXXIV/1-4), that is, I had to write
footnotes galore, because culture and thinking habits make the true
cloudy or disguise it, but you might have been an atheist or
agnostic, a man with no preconceived ideas. "
"No I was not. I'm a Jew." He looks up at the belltower. "For centuries
the
religions, those you call Abrahamic in your writings, have lived side
by side with each other under a single belltower, or tabernacle, or
minaret, oisinewithout ever worrying about what has got them dividednt
or estranged. This I realized when I discovered The
Revelation of Ares."
He turns emphatic, "This is the murder, the deicide!" He widely
gestures his weariness towards the East. He almost certainly thinks of
Lebanon. His voice becomes softer, "However, the Quran is just an
Arabic bible, just as the Christian bible is just the Jewish bible."
I reply, "The finality of faith doesn't lie in the Word.
The Word
is the Father's philosophy, the virtual. During the Pilgrimage pilgrims
legitimately philosophize about salvation, happiness, the end of
earthly worries and sufferings, life to be changed (Rev of Ares
30/11) and the world that has to change (28/7), but once
the Pilgrimage is over, it's the real that has to be dealt with. You
have to achieve it. This is really completing individuals'
destiny by penitence and the world's destiny by multiplying
the number of penitents. All of good men, even
those who don't know the Father's Voice (Rev of Ares
28/12)and those who hate him (28/14) help change
the world, help the final Truth to triumph (28/7).
This belltower does not only conjure up the Abrahamic religions, it
conjures up the whole world."
